The jokes come so fast you miss half of them the first time, which is exactly the point, this thing treats comedy like action, rapid-fire and unapologetic. Super deformation isn't window dressing here; it's the entire permission structure to break Ultraman's own logic whenever it gets a laugh. Six episodes of pure nonsense that respects neither the source material nor your ability to predict what happens next, delivered with the energy of a show that knows exactly how long it can hold your attention before moving on.

Ultraman Graffiti is a 1990 OVA made up of six short episodes that redraw Ultraman in the squat, exaggerated super deformed style. The genres list action and comedy, so the hero turns up in a playful, cartoonish form, with the action bent toward laughs. Fans of the franchise, or anyone who enjoys a lighthearted spin on a well known hero, may find it a quick diversion.
